marcicatLast October, I posted about how the new CEO looks like Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica. Now that I have met her in person (for a certain value of 'met' -- I was officially greeted and then saw her in passing several times), I can report that it is EVEN MORE TRUE in person.
So far I have managed not to say this to the CEO's face. I feel like that would be rude? Or maybe not? I don't know; I don't look like anyone famous, so no one has ever said 'oh hey, you look like [that person]' to me. I'm already a little embarrassed that they apparently know my name; I'm not sure I want to do anything to draw more attention to myself.
But it ABSOLUTELY gives the entire workplace experience a way more surreal vibe. Like, office culture under corporate capitalism is already pretty weird. With a BSG flavor, it becomes even more 'high concept inevitable tragedy, but with space opera stakes.'
